drama, drama, drama!

I was talking to Mr. B. tonight about drama, low drama, high drama, no drama…. Just drama.

After talking we have come to the conclusion that drama is not all bad. To ask a girl to have no drama is like telling a kid that they can’t have any candy in the candy store- it’s not gonna happen. As humans we really do thrive off of a certain amount of drama and that’s okay. Life would be boring without it.

I think these are key survival tips for drama-

1. learning not to need drama to survive

2.learning not to create drama to survive

This delicate balance is a tricky one and teaching it to a teenage girl is darn near impossible…. But I’m trying.

I want my girls to have a certain amount of drama; I mean what’s a girl without that little squeal of delight, the six-year-old girl scream when they see a spider and the huffing and puffing when things don’t go quite right? I love it about girls, Mr. B. loves it about girls, but there is a line and that line gets crossed in our house too much.

Kids and Things

Kid1

(C) is really the nicest 24 yr old kid I know. He is just all I could ask for in an oldest son. He loves fishing, being outdoors and is a jet mechanic in the Air National Guard. He is the kid that introduced me to motherhood and I’ve never looked back. Kid1 is soon to be married to Thing2 and we could NOT be happier. Thing2 is absolutely the most adorable, kindhearted, wonderful thing this family could ask for! We are looking forward to many adventures with her!

Kid2 and Thing1

(LE) is 22, she is a hard working MARRIED woman who is a girly girl at heart. She was our first girl and we fell in love with every shade of pink from the moment we laid eyes on her. Her husband, Thing1 is a fun new addition our family and our very first son-in-law. He is an outdoorsman extraordinaire and we love him dearly!

Kid3

(H) is just about the sweetest 20 year old you have ever met. He was the baby of the house for ever and ever and regardless of what his baby sisters say, he will always be my baby. He works hard nowadays, but still loves his playstation. He is the sugar in your sweet tea- trust me!

Kid4

(IG) is the kid who hung the moon and at 12 we are amazed by her daily. She makes us laugh, cry and cherish our lives. She has aspergers and I wouldn't change a single thing about her. Every one of us thinks she’s the cat’s meow! She is in love with schedules, pro candy and all about the animals- who could blame her?

Kid5

(EA) is our last child around here and we are more than smitten by this beautiful 5 year old. She is always smiling, ALWAYS talking, and always stealing our hearts away! She has us all wrapped around her little finger!
